Knows what a fatty is.
I just used 3 clamps I got at Harbor Freight. They are adjustable.
I took the rubbber seal out of the lid and rolled up some tin foil "snakes" to put into the lid's lip instead.
It's not a perfect seal, but after a few smokes, the drippings and just general grease settle in the lip and help seal it up.
I can shut everything down completely and the fire goes out, so it's can't be leaking air very badly.

I decided that this thread isn't long enough. I hadda tack on to the end. (Welding pun not intended--but funny!) I saw this get-up, and just had to applaud the engineering! This is COOL!Okay, here's The Welder Thread then.
Also, I've posted a separate thread for UUDS™ Foot-Operated Air Vents & fire-basket/ash-pan combo. Just wanted to link it here with the rest of the UDS info...

The holes on mine is 5/8 of inch and has a 1 inch wide and 3 inch long strip of metal that I can use to open or put them in place over the holes. I have 3 holes around the bottom, and up top I use the two holes that was in my lid but I always leave them open.

What a post...
Just got through this huge post. Much info here. I think my head is still spinning. I forgot most of it but I think I am ready. Now time just to find a drum.
Great info and thanks for all your time you guys spent putting this together.. It was a long but very useful read.

UDS is like what they told you about fat girls. It's what's on the inside that counts.

Yes. It seems to burn a little hotter so start less and be prepared to use less intake air. Keep a close eye on warmup so that you can catch the temp on the rise to get it to where you want it. It also has a lighter (airer) consistency so shake the basket to pack it down to help control the burn.
Smells great!!

Barbarian, I wanted to build this UDS for less than 50 bucks so I did a bit
of scrounging through the junk that I had on hand.
The handle is actually a line hook from an old cruiser we had. It works really well as a handle and a lid hanger.
I also found an old metal milk crate which made a perfect no weld firebox.
